PRINCIPAL'S NOTE:
Dear Spartans
Earlier this week, I was fortunate to attend the Livonia Public Schools Education Foundation luncheon. It was an honor to see the support that we receive from our community stakeholders. The mission of the Foundation is to enlarge the resources available to the school district which will foster and expand educational opportunities for programs impacting students by building effective collaborations. The Foundation offers a powerful and effective vehicle for directing contributions to benefit public education.
Thank you to all the families that participated in our Parent Teacher Conferences.
These conversations provide a great opportunity to discuss student progress, social development, and overall performance in school. Building positive relationships between staff and families is beneficial to all parties. We are grateful for our community support and partnership.
There is no school on Tuesday, Nov 7th. This is a District Professional Development Day.
Our staff will be collaborating in their district level teams in the morning. In the afternoon, they will be working with their building level teams. The focal point to examine student data to improve instructional practice. Additionally, conversations centered around common formative assessments, universal accommodations, and consistent grading practices will be taking place.
Have a great weekend!
